Re: UBL & PML (Promise Markup Language)

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@CraneSoftwrights.com>]

I apologize to UBL mail list readers that I 
failed to confirm that the post that I responded 
to was successfully posted to the UBL list.  It 
wasn't, even though the "To" address included the 
UBL mail list in the original email I 
received.  I assumed he was an OASIS member and 
so responded accordingly.  I should have confirmed this before responding.

I have since asked him to use the Public Comment list.
